Kansas City had yesterday after
Don and evening the very best and
biggest show that ever exhibited here,
including all the circuses, Barnum's,
Forepaugh's and the rest. 1t is a
wonderful show. The circus proper
is entirely complete, with more actors
than three ordinary shows. The
managerie is also wonderfully COM
plete and includes a great variety of
wild beasts. The hippodrome has
many exciting races. 1t is without
an equal. The races are run on
their own merits. The Wild West is
replete with wonders, the Custer
massacre, the stage coach robbery
and Leon riding thirty-one horses
at one time being the leading acts.
The Custer battle is indeed great.

Attention, Missouri Veterans !

On Monday, Sept. 26, 1887, the
Wabash Western Railway will run a
Specia! Royal Train from Mexico,
DIRECT TO YOUR CAMP
GROUNDS

without change or transfer, leaving
Mexico at 1:44 p. m. and arriving at
Bremen Avenue q blocks from Hyde
Park) at 5.21 p. m.
If you take this train you will avoid
the delay In crossing the Mississippi
bridge, the rush and jam at the Union
Depot and a march of nearly three
miles through crowded streets at a
time when horse cars will not be
available and will reach your camp
hours IN Advance Of those taking
other routes.
Transfer wagons will be in waiting
I at Bremen Avenue to carry baggage
to the camp. By this arrangement
you will have all your baggage with
you a few minutes after arrival and
not run the risk of its being delayed
a day or two at the Union Depot.
Don't forget that the Wabash
Western is over so miles the shortest
line to st. Louis and the only line
running direct to the camp grounds

At a meeting of the Board of Di-

day night at the office of Bassford &

statement. He told the directors
that another and much stronger vein
of water had been encountered at
the we'll, and it was now almost i'm
possible to drill through it. The
casing is all out, but another attempt
is how being made to shut off the
water by this means MI. Wolf ex-
hihited to the Board q drawing OF
the well, showing in %colors, with ex-
PLANTATION, the different matter passed
through. The hole is about 1900
feet deep, and it is feared that if drill
ling is continued the pure water will
be spoiled, as sulphur or salt water
is generally encountered after this
depth.

The Fresh AR Fund.

The Chicago Daily Netcs is doing a
great work in raising fund with which
to provide TIE poor children of that city
an opportunity to breathe the fresh air
of the lake at Mrs. SchOeneman's ssni>
tarium and elsewhere. The amount so
far raised is 81 1873 AZ, and this sum has
been expended in the most economical
manner in caring for the babies of those
people of the great city who are unable
to give them proper attention themselves.
Such great charity rs this cannot be
entirely local in its appeal to those who
are able to aid it, and we notice many
contributions from cities throughout the
west. but not one from Rock Island
This is probably because the matter ha
not been brought before our people, and
THE ARGUS is glad to give its space to
aid such worthy object. Contributions
OF any amount may be sent to the DAILY
NeicS, Chicago, and proper credit will bt
given.
Even with the pure air we have here
many little ones have died this summer
and many a mother is snxiously watch,
| ing over the babies who have not vet
reached the end of earth: but whose frai
lives are trembling in the balance They
perhaps, can feel more deeply than any
one else for the unhappy mothers of Chi
cago who are unable to give their own
little ones one breath of that pure ozoue
laden air, of which there is plenty, but
| of which not trace ever enters the hot
and sitting rooms of the poor in great
city.
In supplement to the Neacs devoted to
this subject we find the following tender
little poem, by Eugene Field, which may
be solace to many an aching heart in
this city:
My baby slept-how calm his rest
As DER his handsome face smile
Like that of angel fitted while
He Tag SO still upon my breast.
My baby slept-his baby head
Lay all unkissed meath pail and shr I'D
did not weep or cry aloud
only wished |, too, were dead.
NV baby Sleeps tiny mound.
All covered by the little flowers.
Woo me in all my walking hours
Down in the quiet burying ground
And when | sleep seem to be
With baby in another land
| take his little baby hand
He smiles and sings sweet songs to me.
Sleep on, o baby. while keep
MY vigils till this Day be past:
Their shall | too. lie down at last
And with my baby darling sleep.

WAREHOUSES;.

Excellent Opportunities Afforded on
First Avenue for the Establishment
Thereof.
Warehouses, built and constructed for
the purposes, are always useful and ben
eticial to cities of the size of Rock Island.
Not only do they afford much conven-
fence to jobbers and shippers, but they
speak well for the towns commercial i'm.
portance and facilities Rock Island.
strange to say. has very few property
called warehouses; and the public would
naturally suppose city of the vast COM
merclal interests of Rock Island would
have many more than il has. Further>
more there are few cities in the north~
west that offer better locations for wares
house purposes. No more strikingly
adapted ground could be found or wished
for than adjacent to Fleming Bros.
fruit house on First avenue.
Not only is there abundance of room
thereabouts, but it is CONVENIENT to the
railroad tracks, and could by little ex>
tension of tracks have cars run up to the
doors of the buildings. A prominent
wholesale merchant of this city is consid
ering the feasibility of erecting ware
house for his own use in this neighbor'
hood, and the probabilities are that if he
acts in accordance with his present in
clinations. he will set an example that
many will initiate.
Let our heavy shippers consider this
matter. for in building up that part of
town they would provide an immense
convenience for themselves, and do a
great thing for the town.
